Yea I had said that I would not go to any more Eastman shows myself. I'm going to to hit the the ones in my area and do a little advertising for the site though. I'm going to wear my ODT shirt and carry some cards.

I'm done with Eastman's Gun Shows

I am with you CCW! I talked to one of the vendors that I use locally that does some shows and they told me that they have been forced to raise their prices so that other tables would not get upset. I have always loved going to gun shows especially at the convention center in Dalton and standing at that back wall and seeing what people are coming in with. Now, I know people that were escorted out of the Eastman show for selling to other individuals. Also, you use to could pay one price and get your stamp and go back both days. Now, you have to pay each day. Haven't gone to an Eastman Show since!
I've had a boycott on Eastman's shows for about 3 years now. I went last year for an hour with a buddy and remembered why I quit going...THIS is the best gun show going!
Honestly I go the gun shows to window shop and possibly find some good deals from other visitors. Also there was some nice eye candy to look at there as well......... what can I say I like woman who like guns
I see maybe one or two Eye candy's at a Fat Matt show but that's just me. I got to a gun show about 3 to 4 times a year. I use to work the shows and go mostly to see some pretty old friends. We all say its the same old same old(not that nicely though). Fat Matt just has not had the same show in years. He doesn't get new dealers for the most part. The dealer prices change for the area. I do like to buy ammo from Ga Arms and I have bought a part or two from AR bunker as they where higher then internet but once I paid shipping they where not. And I have found a Spas-12 from a person for $750 waiting in the line and a SKS the same way. of course I also had a man with a Spas-12 want $2500 for it and I had to ask twice if he was real before I laughed and walked away.
Also if you really want to talk about his favoritism then just look when you first walk in, there is always the browning tables in front. ALWAYS. But thats his preference and its his shows.
Any one ever won that knife he raffles at each gun show? I swear I have seen the same knife for years but I never look that hard at it.
I will be trying the other guys gun show in marrietta this weekend to see the difference in shows as I have not been to another gun show other then Fat Matts in years. and am looking forward to seeing it.

It`s worth the entrance fee just to look at guns and stuff.I don`t go to the Fair to get a good deal on a corn dog.
Yea im done with em too ..Matt popped off his mouth to my son who had just back from Iraq the week before seemed to us like he has a problem with vets My son promptly told him what he could go do to himself lolll ..we went on in and made a round or two then left ..we only go to Gunrunners RK and Gunshows of the south now.. it sure is nice to go to a show and not have to look at matt eastman looking at you like your trash while he takes your 8 bucks and from what i hear if a dealer starts underpricing his little mini me's he kicks em out oh yea check out Great southern and Valley production shows in alabama the Birmingham and Anniston shows are great NO MATT there lolllllllllll
Agreed! Eastman is generally way over priced. Very rare you ever find a great or even a good deal from any of the dealers their. I heard that several dealers that tried to sell at the shows were told their prices were to cheap and if they did'nt raise them not to come back because his regulars were complaining
I enjoy Eastman's Marietta show. It's probably one of the better shows I have been to in the Atlanta area.
CCW - how many of those sold out SKS mags can you buy for $16.45?
Here's some for less than that and in stock, if you really want a crapco....
